Navigation to the URL is not getting recorded as a step

[Amar]

Hi,

I'm using Telerik Test Studio version: 2012.2.1527.0. I start recording using the webtest and navigate to the URL. This is not getting recorded as a step.

There is a login page. As I start typing my user Id, this is now getting recorded. Everything from this point is getting recorded (except any URL changes). Since the initial navigation is not getting recorded, the test fails in the very first step when I run it.


Error Information

Error: Wait for condition has timed outInnerException:System.Exception: Unable to find the target host (Browser/SilverlightApp) to locate an element. Failure: Waiting for frame '[Frame:id=credentials,name=Frame_1,src=https://<URL>,UseQuery:False]' timed out. Error: Wait for condition has timed out at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionUtils.WaitForAllElements(IAutomationHost host, AutomationDescriptor descriptor, Int32 timeout) at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteStep(Int32 order)

However, it works fine for my colleagues (navigation to the URL is getting recorded as the first step), who have the same user rights to the machine as mine. We all use the same OS and followed same steps. The only setting we all did is calibrating the browser. Everything else is default settings.

I found similar issue being reported here before. But that says OS is a non-english one as the cause. This is not the case for me.

I tried adding manual step for navigation to the URL. It did not work. Can you please help ASAP or give me a work around please. Thanks.

Cheers,
Amar.

Hi Amar,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this issue.

If you haven't done so already, please calibrate your browser as seen in this article. 

Please record a Jing video demonstrating the entire process, so we can better understand what is happening. 

Please send us the Application Log. Ensure you enable logging first (clear out existing log, then reproduce the issue) and send us the log within a .zip file.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Boyan,

Thanks for your reply. I have calibrated the browser as per you suggestion and recorded the steps. Here is the video. The application log has also been attached. Hope this gets sorted soon. Thanks.

Hello Amar,

Thank you for providing the log. Unfortunately the log doesn't say much. Please give us some additional information:

1. Which version of Test Studio do you use?

2. Try please to record a test against Google and check if the navigation step is recorded.

3. You can try our new release of Test Studio. You can find the download link in my signature. Please install it first on some test machine and let us know the results.

As a temporary workaround you can add a coded step for the navigation:

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://google.com", true);

Hope to hear from you soon.

I had the same issue with you, but this is about just hardware,

For example, firstly I worked with Test studio with a 4GB computer, for example Typetext method didn't work and also same issue encountered.

When we use the steps another computer (8GB ram), navigate url has recorded as a step and other functions started to work.

I know that it is a Hardware problem; so maybe you can increase the RAM, I know it looks silly but worked.

Also I think Telerik should change the minimum system requirements for test studio,

Hello Deniz,

4GB is really enough for Test Studio and there should be no problem with that hardware.

Maybe the problem was somewhere else (e.g. so many programs running on Windows and there was not enough memory, e.t.c.).

If you need any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
